Review:
This is a bookset is filled with curiosity, adventure, and fun. I absolutely loved the engaging aspects in this series, it just makes you want to keep reading. My kids requested that I read them out-loud and we laughed and rooted for Ali to pull through in each adventure. To see a well written Muslim series from a Muslim publisher is such a refreshing treat. The physical quality, box presentation, the writing and illustrations are all well done. However, I have to be honest, I expected to see more Islamic elements in these books. By that I don't mean that Islamic values are needed to be in the center of it. I just wanted it to be sprinkled through the text and mentioned in passing as a natural part of Ali's life. The only one that has some Islam is The Eid Goat. There is still value for our kids to read books where they see a Muslim character being a kid on fun adventures rather than have a religious dilemma. No denying that this is a well done set that kids will truly enjoy reading.
